The reason is simply due to historical baggages, which are not according to specification yet which are industry standarts. WHATWG recognized the fact that some structures may be invalid according to SGML/XML, but still can be useful / the most obvious / etc. solutions. So WHATWG simply took the reality existing on the web for 2 decades and created (is creating) language, that will be completely specified and backward compatible. To put it simply, HTML has begun to be too large and important to be bound by certain constraining rules. > 2.
